The 5th Annual Not-Inspiration Pørn Disability Film Festival Accessible program

 

ALL4Access app instructions

To access the audio description track on your phone or device, please download the free app, All4Access from an app store. Once the films start, you simply open the app, allow it to use your microphone and then it will automatically synch with the audio playing in the Assembly Hall. You will need to select the option “audio description” to hear the AD.

There will be one break after the first film for a short Q and A, and once that is over, you will need to resynch through the app. You should only need to do this one time.
